Weight Watchers Weekly Meal Plan (Oct 23 - Oct 29) (2024)

My Meal Plan on Weight Watchers This Week

Every Friday, I send out an email outlining my dinner plans for the upcoming week that are compatible with Weight Watchers, and I also publish them on my blog. This practice helps me stay on track with my meal choices and motivates me to make healthier food decisions.

Additionally, by sharing my weekly dinner plans, I hope to provide a useful reference for individuals searching for meal planning ideas or looking to vary their diet. If you're looking for more inspiration, you might find the "101 Meal Prep Ideas from Successful Weight Watchers" resource helpful.

The Benefits of Weekly Meal Planning

Planning and preparing your meals ahead of time can make a significant difference in avoiding unhealthy eating habits. With a clear idea of what you'll be cooking for the week and all the necessary ingredients on hand, you're less likely to succumb to the temptation of fast food or takeout. Not only does meal planning give you more control over what you eat, but it also enables you to make healthier choices.

In addition, meal planning and grocery shopping can save you time and money in the long run. Instead of wandering aimlessly through the grocery store, you can create a list of the items you need and stick to it, avoiding impulse purchases and unnecessary spending.

This approach allows you to shop more efficiently and reduces food waste, ultimately benefiting both your wallet and the environment.

Every time I get out of the meal planning habit and resort to take-out, restaurants, and snacking on junk, it's amazing how crappy I feel and how quickly the pounds pack on.

The Key to Eating Well is Cooking

Cooking at home is a fantastic way to eat healthier and lose weight! When you cook your own meals, you get to decide what goes into them and how they're prepared. This means you can choose healthy ingredients and cooking methods, and avoid the processed and high-calorie foods often found in restaurants.

Cooking at home also gives you the freedom to customize your meals to fit your specific dietary needs or preferences, like reducing salt, cutting back on sugar, or avoiding allergens. For some it can even become a fun, creative outlet!

This Week's WW Meal Plan Suggestions with Points

What Do I Eat for Breakfast on Weight Watchers?

Most days my breakfast is something quick like an english muffin with almond butter, avocado toast, cottage cheese with fruit, eggs, yogurt with fruit, oatmeal or a smoothie, depending on my mood and the season. I've also been adding a fresh juice to my morning routine on a regular basis.

What Do I Eat for Lunch on Weight Watchers?

Lunch is usually leftovers or some combination of soup / sandwich / salad.

This week I am planning to make...

After years of doing this my approach is pretty casual. I stick a post-it note with a list of the recipes I'm planning to make stuck to the fridge. That's it. No charts. No graphs. No calendars. It's what works best for me at this age and stage of life. For me simple works best 🙂

Slow Cooker Turkey Breast - Try this wonderfully flavored, easy-to-fix, moist and tender, slow cooker turkey breast the next time you're craving turkey. Or for Thanksgiving if your gathering is small. I'll serve it with Skinny Mashed Potatoes, or Skinny Mashed Sweet Potatoes and a Green Vegetable.

Slow Cooker Italian Pizza Sloppy Joes - Here's a fun Italian inspired variation on traditionalsloppy joes that's sure to please the entire family. It did mine! Just 3 ingredients combine to form the foundation for a winning dinner. Perfect for busy days. I'll serve them with a simple green salad.

Turkey Broccoli Casserole - A lightened up version of Mom's favorite chicken and broccoli casserole recipe. It calls for chicken, but I will use leftover turkey breast instead.

Curried Carrot Apple Soup - Gorgeously golden, this slow cooker curried carrot soup is as easy as it is delicious. I'll serve it with easy soda bread.

Breakfast for Dinner:Skinny Pumpkin Pie French Toast for Two - and Fruit

Customer Testimonials

I can't tell you how thrilled we were with your menu posted this week! We are on vacation and in a condo for five weeks. Keeping meals simple. I made both the chicken broccoli pie and the broccoli cheese soup for the first time this week. Both were a big hit. Then last night we had your Caribbean Jerk Chicken which is a definite favorite. Made your lasagna soup last week!!! Yum!

I am so thankful I found your website and continue to try new things. I started WW March 2020 (online only) and have lost almost 30 lbs. and am at my goal! Slow and steady wins the race!!! (Just like the tortoise and the hare).

Thank you for all your encouraging emails and wonderful recipes. We've been married almost 47 years. When I first found "my friend Martha" as all my friends know you by, my husband said "you've always been a good cook but we never tried so many different things!" He loves your recipes also!!!

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!!!!! ~ Joyce

I bought the Table for Two eCookbook and I love it! It saved me from giving up on my weight loss journey. The meals are delicious and so easy to cook. Having a weekly grocery list, recipes and instructions with pictures readily accessible has taken so much stress off of me in meal planning. I was tired of cooking recipes that had multiple servings and eating the left overs several times during the week. My husband loves the Table for Two recipes and he doesn't even need to lose weight! I have recommended your site to several friends on the same journey and they love your recipes too. Thank you for all your hard work in making meal planning so easy! ~ Barbara

Hi Martha - I cannot begin to thank you enough for my month of meals. We (my husband and I) have only had the first week, but WOW, what great meals! I can't wait for the second week. You have a customer for life! ~ Sharon S.

I bought the 12-Week eCookbook and Meal Planner by Alisha Hughes from Meal Planning Mommies. It is great 12 weeks with a shopping list which is wonderful. I just make a copy of the list and go shopping for the week. ~ Roberta R.
